A conflicted emotion fleeted in his eyes because Hilary sounded teasing, pairing him with Violet.
Yet, he could not get angry with her. Instead, he softened his gaze, staring at Hilary's profile image on the computer hologram.
Hilary hadn't had her previous life memories, so she mistook his affection for Violet as a man having a crush on his opposite sex.
He is indeed showing his fondness for Violet because she is the reincarnation of his daughter from over four hundred years ago. Thus, he could not blame Hilary for thinking this way.
And one day, after he locates half of his soul, he will tell Hilary the truth and allow her to remember her previous life.
That in the past, they lived as a happy family of three.
At that time, he was only an ordinary human after his wife, the Moon Deity, stabbed him in the heart with the particular sword forged by the Moon Deity's blood and power.
